Urban Youth Academy requests your help!

Good Evening from the Urban Youth Academy in Compton, CA. As the year winds down, baseball and softball instruction is heating up.

The Softball program has been growing by leaps and bounds in just past few weeks and now we are dire need of girls softball equipment.

There has been so much excitement and participation by the local youth, that the Academy now has a serious shortage of girls softball equipment.

We are asking all those who have supported the Urban Youth Academy to join us once again and help the Urban Youth Academy in providing the necessary equipment for the more than 90 young ladies who participate to have the chance to play this great game. We are looking for:

Girls’ softball bats

Girls Softball gloves

Girls softballs

Batting helmets with masks

Catching gear

Elbow and knee padding

If you have any of this equipment, new or used, please contact Zee Aguilar at 310-763-3479 ext 0 or Darren Smith at 310-763-3479 ext 5 to make arrangements for dropping off or just come by the Academy Monday-Saturday 9am-6pm to drop off the equipment.

We want to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and we ask humbly for your generous donations that will make our softball program a great success!

And remember, please sign up for the Urban youth Academy mailing list. This list will be used to communicate future events and academy updates!
